on a 4-processor AMD-64 system running Fedora-13 with all upgrades installed. A crash log is attached. This started when I changed from Fedora-11 to Fedora-13, also changing from the building the driver from Nvidia's driver package to kmod-nvidia from RPM Fusion, which claims to do the same thing automatically. The driver runs everything else without problems, including glx-gears at about 7500 FPS.

OP, make sure you are using all *Google* libaries and not the Qt libs from Fedora (or whatever distro you are using). Also make sure that you set the SELinux context to allow text relocation as Google didn't build their libraries safely. Example: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /path/to/google-earth/librender.so
